How many bridesmaids?

In case you haven't noticed, I have a little poll running on my blog, and the inaugural one asks how many bridesmaids you'd choose. Me, I had one but I've covered lots of weddings with at least four and often five bridesmaids.

However many you choose, gone are the days of putting them in matching peach ballgowns - research shows that the modern bride often nominates a colour theme and lets her bridesmaids choose a dress style they'll be most happy in and will be likely to wear again. Very sensible...

So how many bridesmaids would you choose? Cast your vote now in the poll on the right and pop back to see what the majority verdict is in the next blog post.
